In addition, a list of the aspects of rhetorical taste for the study participants was developed which included three main aspects under which (10) sub-skills fall, and a test was developed in the light of this list to measure them. Moreover, developing a teacher's guide for using digital mind maps and a linguistic activities book for students were designed to develop in Arab-Islamic culture texts comprehension skills and the rhetorical taste of the Arabic-speaking students of other languages was designed. The instruments were pre-administered to the study sample, which consisted of (16) male and female Arabic-speaking students of other languages at the advanced level at the Nile Center in Cairo. After the implementation of the study participants, the instruments were administered to them. The averages of their scores were compared in both the pre and post administration of the text comprehension and rhetorical taste tests, and the subsequent calculation of the adjusted gain ratio for Black and corrected for Ezzat.
